I have an idea for a "reverse" Nigerian money-moving scam. I pose as a rock promotor and I am going to do a benefit "Food-for-Africa" rock concert. All I need is some upfront money from the corrupt Nigerian government so that I can stage the concert and book some big-name has-beens like John Cougar Mellencamp, Bono/U2, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Don Henley, and the rest of the self-important washed-up performers. I'll send millions back to the Nigerians and then we'll start the process all over again. All the time, I'll be skimming millions off the top for my "promoter fees." At the standard rate, of course.

Sounds like a good plan to me! The concerts are to be staged in the usual places...London, California, New York. We'll get MTV onboard and turn this thing into a real extravaganza. Then we'll put the concerts out on DVD and we'll sell some of the prime cuts to iTunes. Not to mention a real party backstage. Catered food and all the alcoholic beverages you can think of. A good time to be had by all. And it's all for a good cause - we are doing something for Africa. Yay!
